Life cannot be understood flat on a page

I love my friends.

I really and truly feel blessed to have all of them in my life-- the thinkers, the intellectuals, the artists, the free spirits, the Jesus lovers, the rational ones (yes, I do have a couple of these, thank goodness!!), the impersonators, friends who make me laugh until I cry, friends who inspire me to grow and change my thinking, the ones who doubt. I love all of their imperfections, for there is power in weakness! I am quite content with my life, really basking in the love of Christ and just wanting to give Him my all. I'm excited to grow in areas where I am weak, that Christ will be glorified!

We need other people around us, and I'm realizing that more and more. I love love love how the Lord sometimes uses other people to reveal Himself to us. I received such healing recently from a dear friend, and am continually amazed by the grace of God. Thank the Lord that we do not have to do life alone, that if we mess up, we are not abandoned. I'm blessed to have people around me who want to help and understand and comfort, but also to challenge me!

I thank the Lord for you!!
